Liquor may be sold in Plano if referendum passes


Plano could join Anna and Lowry Crossing as the only cities in Collin County that allow the sale of liquor for off-premises consumption.

— Bourbon and vodka may soon be on the shelves in Plano if a liquor referendum gets voter approval.

A group of residents submitted a petition last month to get a referendum allowing the sale of all alcoholic beverages within city limits on the May 11 ballot. City Secretary Di Zucco said Monday that the petition contained 20,477 signatures, significantly more than the 1,857 that were required.

Beer and wine are already available for sale in Plano. If approved in May, Plano would join Anna and Lowry Crossing as the only cities in the county that allow the sale of liquor for off-premises consumption.

The petition was organized by a group called Plano Citizens for Economic Equality. So far, no organized opposition has surfaced.

We need organized opposition. Increasing ease of access means increasing consumption. Accidents and domestic violence rise with increased alcohol consumption.

Prohibition ended decades ago......Plano is only giving up tax revenue to Anna ,Addison and the Colony. The city can zone it to specific areas of the city as in Addison. I can only hope that people are smart enough to make the right decision and allow the sale of this heavily taxes legal beverages.
